                               CHAPTER IV 



           here    was    one   point   which    Anne�察   �on   returning     to  her 

           family�察�would have been more thankful to ascertain even 

 T 

           than Mr。 Elliot¨s being in love with Elizabeth�察�which was�察�

her father¨s not being in love with Mrs。 Clay�察�and she was very far 

from easy about it�察  �when   she   had been at  home   a  few  hours。   On 

going   down   to   breakfast   the   next   morning�察  �she   found   there   had 

just been a decent pretence on the lady¨s side of meaning to leave 

them。   She   could   imagine   Mrs。   Clay  to  have   said�察  �that   ^now   Miss 

Anne was come�察�she could not suppose herself at all wanted�察院�for 

Elizabeth was replying in a sort of whisper�察 �That must not be any 

reason�察�indeed。 I  assure   you  I   feel   it none。 She   is nothing  to  me�察�

compared   with  you�察院  �and   she   was   in   full   time   to  hear   her   father 

say�察   �My   dear   madam�察  �this   must   not   be。   As   yet�察  �you   have   seen 

nothing of Bath。 You have been here only to be useful。 You must 

not run away from us now。 You must stay  to  be   acquainted   with 

Mrs。   Wallis�察  �the   beautiful   Mrs。   Wallis。   To   your   fine   mind�察  �I   well 

know the sight of beauty is a real gratification。 ̄ 

    He   spoke   and   looked   so   much   in   earnest�察  �that   Anne   was   not 

surprised      to  see  Mrs。    Clay   stealing   a  glance    at  Elizabeth    and 

herself。      Her     countenance�察      �perhaps�察     �might      express     some 

watchfulness�察  �but   the   praise   of   the   fine   mind   did   not   appear   to 

excite a thought in her sister。 The lady could not but yield to such 

joint entreaties�察�and promise to stay。 

    In   the   course    of  the   same    morning�察    �Anne     and   her   father 

chancing to be alone together�察�he began to compliment her on her

improved   looks�察  �he   thought   her   ^less   thin   in   her   person�察  �in   her 

cheeks�察     �her   skin�察  �her   complexion�察      �greatly   improved!clearer�察�

nothing。 ̄   ^Merely   Gowland�察院  �he   supposed。   ^No�察  �nothing   at   all。 ̄ 

^Ha� �he was surprised at that�察院�and added�察 �certainly you cannot 

do better than to continue as you  are�察  �you  cannot be   better  than 

well�察   �or   I  should    recommend        Gowland�察     �the   constant     use   of 

Gowland�察�during the spring months。 Mrs。 Clay has been using it at 

my   recommendation�察  �and   you   see   what   it   has   done   for   her。   You 

see how it has carried away her freckles。 ̄ 

    If   Elizabeth   could   but   have   heard   this�   �Such   personal   praise 

might have struck her�察�especially as it did not appear to Anne that 

the   freckles   were   at   all  lessened。    But   everything   must   take      its 

chance。     The    evil  of  a  marriage     would    be   much     diminished�察    �if 

Elizabeth   were   also   to   marry。   As   for   herself�察  �she   might   always 

command a home with Lady Russell。 

    Lady Russell¨s composed mind and polite manners were put to 

some trial on this point�察�in her intercourse in Camden´place。 The 

sight of Mrs。 Clay in such favour�察�and of Anne so overlooked�察�was a 

perpetual provocation to her there�察�and vexed her as much when 

she was away�察�as a person in Bath who drinks the water�察�gets all 

the new publications�察�and has a very large acquaintance�察�has time 

to be vexed。 

   As Mr。 Elliot became known to her�察�she grew more charitable�察�

or   more    indifferent�察   �towards     the  others。   His   manners      were    an 

immediate       recommendation�察        �and    on   conversing     with    him    she 

found the solid so fully supporting the superficial�察�that she was at 

first�察�as she told Anne�察�almost ready to exclaim�察 �Can this be Mr。 

Elliot�拭院    �and    could    not   seriously     picture    to   herself    a  more

understanding�察  �correct   opinions�察  �knowledge   of   the   world�察  �and   a 

warm      heart。   He    had   strong    feelings    of  family    attachment      and

liberality    of   a  man    of  fortune�察   �without     display�察   �he   judged    for 

himself in everything essential�察�without defying public opinion in 

any     point    of   worldly     decorum。       He    was     steady�察   �observant�察�

moderate�察�candid�察�never run away with by spirits or by selfishness�察�

which   fancied   itself   strong   feeling�察  �and   yet�察  �with   a   sensibility   to 

what   was   amiable   and   lovely�察  �and   a   value   for   all   the   felicities   of 

domestic life�察�which characters of fancied enthusiasm and violent 

agitation seldom really possess。 She was sure that he had not been 

happy in marriage。 Colonel Wallis said it�察�and Lady Russell saw it�察�

but it had been no unhappiness to sour his mind�察�nor ��she began 

pretty soon to suspect�� to prevent his thinking of a second choice。 

Her   satisfaction   in   Mr。   Elliot   outweighed   all   the   plague   of   Mrs。 

Clay。 

    It was now some years since Anne had begun to learn that she 

and her excellent friend could sometimes think differently�察�and it 

did    not   surprise     her�察 �therefore�察    �that   Lady    Russell    should     see 

nothing      suspicious      or   inconsistent�察    �nothing      to
